Line 4:
Note that 3D comics of this era didn't star superheroes (except for [[Superman]] and [[Batman]]) because the fad happened during [[The Interregnum]], when [[The Golden Age of Comic Books]] had died down but [[The Silver Age of Comic Books]] hadn't started.
 
The next 3D comic book fad was in the late 1980s, a few years after the next 3D movie fad. Three-dimensional comic books were generally limited to independent publishers such as [[Eclipse Comics]] and Blackthorne -- notBlackthorne—not Marvel, or DC. They were released as specials, not ongoing series. This fad lasted longer than the 1953 fad, but eventually 3D comics faded away again.
 
And that's pretty much it.
 
Of course, the [[3D Movie]] has cycled around again, and already has been around a lot longer than the earlier fads. If 3D movies are here to stay, who knows when 3D comic books will return?
Of course, Hollywood is just beginning a new fad for 3D movies, so logically, one can expect that this page will have a renaissance of new material very soon.

* Captain 3-D was a comic book [[Superhero]] created in 1953 by Simon and Kirby (the creators of [[Captain America (comics)]]). It was printed in anaglyphs and used the 3-D as a theme for the hero, he lived as a drawing in a book and sprang to life when someone looked at him trough red/blue glasses. It lasted one single issue.
 
== 1980s ==
* Regular characters who had 3D comic books included [[Miracleman]], [[Ms. Tree]], [[Cherry Comics|Cherry]] and the [[DN AgentsDNAgents]].
 
== Other ==
* ''Batman 3-D'' by John Byrne came out in 1990, without any 3D fad accompanying it. It also reprinted one of the four stories infrom the 1953 3D ''Batman'' comic.
* The last sixteen pages of ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]: Black Dossier'' were presented in 3D.
* An issue of the ''[[A Nightmare on Elm Street|Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare]]'' [[Comic Book Adaptation]] was 3D.

* ''[[The Beano]] 3D summer annual 2011'' was as the name suggests a 3D Beano annual with a number of 3D comic strips.

* The 3D Man was a retcon 1950s [[Marvel Comics]] superhero who was created in the 1970s in ''Marvel Premiere''. The 3D Man was a combination of a man and his missing brother, who transformed using a pair of glasses and had a red and green costume. He had three times the abilities of a normal man. In modern times, an [[Affirmative Action Legacy]] character is 3D Man.
* ''[[Mad Magazine]]'': In the Fifties this fad was (naturally) mocked in a segment by Harvey Kurtzman and Wally Wood where the [[Fourth Wall]] was utterly demolished that the characters ended up falling out of the comic, leaving the last page of the story completely blank.
